Thankfully, both women only suffered minor injuries but what the hell were they playing at?

Thanks to new legislation introduced in Ireland recently, motorists face severe punishments if caught using mobile devices while driving and if anyone was in any doubt as to the need to crackdown on those guilty of doing just that, then two girls in Iran have provided all the evidence you’ll need.

The women in question decided to record a video of themselves singing along to an Iranian pop song called “Ghorboni” while travelling in a car and with the driver clearly paying more attention to the phone recording them rather than the road in front of her, she crashed the car in what appeared to be fairly violent fashion.

The women subsequently uploaded a video of themselves from the hospital to reassure everyone they were OK, but according to the Daily Mail, a spate of copycat videos mocking the women in question have surfaced in Iran since the video went viral last week.

It’s unfortunate for the women in question that their daft antics have gained such universal exposure but hopefully it will serve as a reminder to motorists everywhere not to be up to such carry on behind the wheel because people will get seriously injured and even lose their lives because of behaviour like this.
